Profile: Florimon is a stopgap until someone else comes along to play shortstop for Minnesota. Defense should be fine, offense should not. (Chad Young)

Profile: The Twins claimed Florimon from the Orioles in 2011, and handed him the full-time shortstop job in 2013 under the guise that he'd be good enough defensively to carry his less-than-stellar bat. And considering he hit just .221/.281/.330 in 2013 with just over a win of value, it's probably fair to say the Twins got what they bargained for. Florimon continues to be a dazzling defensive shortstop who can make a lot of the flashy plays, but will at times struggle to make the routine ones. Still, that's a minor quibble on an otherwise excellent defensive rap sheet for Florimon. At times, he shows more with the stick, too. He's long, and lean, and athletic, with enough raw power to be an offensive threat, at least relative to his position. He seems to struggle with pitches middle and in -- as he'll often swing through them. In two separate months, Florimon showed enough offensively for some to take note. In May he hit .289/.349/.434, and in July he hit .227/.256/.427 with four of his nine home runs. But outside of those months, his highest OPS was .612, with a low of .460. That lack of consistency is what has kept him from becoming the undisputed future of the Twins at the position. He'll have to hold off Danny Santana internally to keep the position in the future, and that's only if the Twins don't supplement from the outside. (Brandon Warne)

The Quick Opinion: Florimon is an all-glove, no-hit shortstop and at 27, it's pretty likely that's all he'll ever be. It's hard to imagine him holding the starting job at shortstop into the long-term for the Twins.

Profile: Florimon has always been billed as an all-glove, no-hit shortstop, but no quality of leather can hide the 7-for-76 (.092) stretch he was in before the Twins declared no mas. Florimon was sent to the minors, where he moved around the infield and played decently well before he was claimed off waivers by the Washington Nationals. Florimon was claimed a couple months later by the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he could compete for a utility job. However, at 28 it might be near the end of the line. (Brandon Warne)

The Quick Opinion: At this point Florimon is nomadic minor league roster filler. His ceiling is as a defensive replacement and pinch runner in the National League. You know what to do.
